I've considered this myself.  While I haven't seen any type of microphone
from Lego, it would be trivial to attach a condencer mike to the RCX, and
just tell the software it's a light sensor.  I don't think this would work
for predator/prey applications because the motors would be easily
detectable, but it would be difficult to determine which robot was making
the noise, unless you put a motorized clicker or other noise maker on one
of the robots.

Nah, it's easy.  One of the expansion packs does it.  Just put a light on
the prey, then have the predator seek the light.  The creature pack (I
forget its name) comes with a stalk of fiber optic strands to put on the
prey.

So then the whole thing has to take place in a dark room? That's less than
the ideal solution, in my mind.

Has anyone done this? How well did it work?
